    Looks like I'll be here all day waiting for the lumpers to break down 4000+ cases of notebooks and the like, but that really isn't my complaint. Neither is the fact that the lumpers are not with a formal company, but rather we have to "go back out to the entry gate and bring one of them to this office".

    Something like 15 trucks with appts for 0615. Door assignments seem to be at random. Told to back into one door...it's already occupied....etc....

    No one issue here is unique to this location, but the total disorganization and "One-hand-doesn't-know-what-the-other-is-doing-itis" is probably as bad here as I have ever seen it anywhere.

    Langley AFB? Ft Eustis? I delivered to the commissary. It wasn't bad. I go there and Norfolk Naval base every now and then.

    I think he is at the AAFES warehouse in Newport News, it is run by a Warehousing company on Contract. But if I have to Have a TWIC card and TSA Card to deliver in ports and haul Hazmat, they should have to have a Lumper service with Credible Backgrounds, I mean this is going on a Military Installation, and We do have many people who this can affect. Seeing that the Warehouse he went to (if he went to NN) services Navy Vessels going on Deployment, Just my Opinion
